Great improvement on 2nd visit

This hotel is undergoing a upgrade programme.we stayed in a linked unit for 3 days with family ,fridge added ,more packing space under beds,clean and service with a smile! Natasha at front desk was a star! Garage is accessable and organised under hotel. Security is visible at all times which is unfortunately important in todays day and age!location is excellant.Only negative factor we found was cost of breakfast should be offered at a better inclusive rate ,is very pricy as is! It is our second visit and we intend using this hotel again on our next visit to Cape Town,More

A horrid, dirty hotel that would barely pass as 2 star in Europe or the U.S. The carpet is black with filth; hallways and rooms reek with must and smoke; bathrooms lined with mold; furniture worn with age; and the air conditioner did not work. We insisted on another room, which also had an inoperable air conditioner. We were then moved to a sister hotel across the street. For $220 USD a night, this place is laughable.

My wife and I visited this hotel for a mid week stay. The staff were very professional and friendly. We enjoyed the cleanliness of the hotel and the central location. Worthy of a special mention is the excellent buffet breakfasts that we have come to know from Southern Sun hotels. The added premium in their rates are definitely worthwhile considering the location, cleanliness and professional staff. I will use this hotel again

Stayed for four nights. Good location for exploring Cape Town, helped by the half hourly shuttle to VA Waterfront.

Good check in. Room was newly furnished with two Double beds. Fine for us as only used one but the room might be considered small for a family and certainly too small for four adults. However beds comfy and bedding good quality cotton.

Buffet breakfast was fairly standard offering although plenty of choice. Staff there welcoming and helpful. In fact all staff met demonstrated these attributes, especially at concierge desk.

Overall good value for money and would recommend to anyone on a short stay visit.

Spent four nights in the Southern Sun whilst visiting Cape Town. Comfortable Stay for a change run Hotel Group. Ideal location as a base to explore central Cape Town & the surrounding areas. Quick & easy checkin with staff friendly & expecting me. All rooms were clean & tidy. Standard Breakfast but plentiful with wide selection. Yes, plenty more high end Hotels in Cape Town but you get what you pay for. Plus point, great location just a short walk away from the V&A.

I have stayed in this hotel more than once and each time I have left with a bigger smile than previously. The check in was quickly sorted and soon I was taken up to my room by a very attentive staff member who held a good sense of conversation and was quickly sharing me tips of how to get around Cape Town. The rooms are tastefully furnished and the bathrooms are of a reasonable size. It is a treat to have a sundowner downstairs at the bar and watch all the guests coming and going. If you fancy a swim, there is a small circular pool for you to jump in. Breakfasts are buffet style and there is the Yizani restaurant for one to eat there as well. The hotel is very centrally located and there is a handy shuttle bus ferrying guests to the nearby Victoria and Albert Waterfront. I would gladly return to this hotel again!
